[From 10$/Pg] Chcs Armed ForcesThe Institute of Medicine stated that patient-centered
care refers to “providing care that is respectful of, and responsive to, individual patient
preferences, needs and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.”
Patient-centric care is also a collaborative approach between the patient and the healthcare
team. There are a number of technologies that are considered patient-centric such as
patient portals and EHR; however, there may be challenges from both the patient and the
healthcare worker’s perspective.Validate the importance of patient-centric
technologies.Include the following aspects in the discussion:1) Discuss if your doctor’s
office utilizes a patient portal. If so, please discuss the pros and cons of utilizing it.2) If your
doctor’s office does not utilize a patient portal, what is the process of viewing your medical
records, making appointments, communicating with your providers, etc.?3) What can be
done to reduce resistance by healthcare professionals in reference to patient-centric
technologies?REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S DISCUSSION TO THE ABOVE QUESTION AND
EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE. (MINIMUM OF 300
WORDS) CLASSMATE’S POSTPatient-centered care is oriented on the
patient and the individual’s designed to address specific requirements, to encourage
patients to participate directly in their treatment. Not only commercial or community health
institutions but also the Department of Defense (DOD), have altered their services in
response to digitalization and contemporary needs. According to Mendez (2019), Since
1968, the DOD has created, bought, and maintained computerized systems to record health
care services provided to service members, retirees, and their families. The Department of
Defense (DOD) is modernizing aging electronic health records (HER) systems including
Composite Health Care System (CHCS), Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology
Application (AHLTA), Essentris, and the Corporate Dental System (CDS), as well as digitizing
all its paper medical data. CHCS helps with appointment scheduling and lab test ordering.
AHLTA electronically saves all clinical data. Essentris is the sole paper-based recorder. CDS
is a dental database. Veterans, retirees, and their families have long used TRICARE as their
main patient portal. This is done through many sites.Military Health System (MHS) Genesis
is the new electronic health record (EHR) that will play the role of TRICARE and deliver
enhanced and secure technologies for the management of medical data. (MHS Genesis,
2022) To help patients and their loved ones stay on top of their appointments and stay in
touch with their doctors, MHS Genesis offers a secure website that is open round the clock
and all days of the week. MHS Genesis is a one-stop shop for healthcare inquiries and

2. information, and it contains almost all the information you might need. Facilities use MHS
GENESIS to provide continue to succeed services, dentistry, emergency room, ancillary
services such as pharmacy, Labs, x-rays, immunization, vision, and optometry. (DHMSM,
2017) MHS GENESIS uses for providing administrative support, as well as logistics and
billing for the procedures. Service members are no longer concerned about the health and
health-related care because they can access almost all of them via a single site. As a result of
using this new gateway, military members and their family’s overall health will be
improved. This site is reasonably user-friendly since it is an improved version of the
previous portal.Although MHS Genesis offers plenty of new features, there are a few issues
to address. When tracking military medical and dental preparedness using MHS Genesis,
Mendez (2019) found that there was a lack of consistency, technological issues, and clinical
inaccuracies. An inadequacy of training and administrative routines led to prolonged
resolution processes. Success for MHS Genesis will be dependent on the ability to enhance
network efficiency while also modifying record management and optimizing training for
target service.MHS Genesis focuses on patient-centered care by delivering all essential
services via a single portal, so to make the lives of both clinicians and patients simpler. The
focus on easy accessibility and essential improvements of MHS Genesis will transform
health records storage and availability. References:DOD
